At 5'9", you're not supposed to be 105-100lbs. That's too skinny and unhealthy. Your height adds to weight due to your stretched bones, in part, so you're expected to be around the weight you are.
But if you must lose the weight, drink lots of water, do lots of cardio exercises and don't starve yourself because that will slow down metobolic rate and fat burning, and throw your body into no-weight-loss defensive mode. Eat avocodos for fat substitution instead of red meat. Olive oil is good too. No excess carbs suchs as sodas and beer. Eat lots of minerals (such as postasium) to increase energy levels to keep up your exercise reutine with bananas and oranges, for example.
One, your current weight is fine. If you drop to 115, you'll be in the unhealthy range.
Two, the healthy amount to lose is 1-2 lbs a week. To aim for that much in one month is a bit of a stretch.
Three, if you go on some crazy diet to lose that weight, guess what? You're risking seriously screwing your body up and throwing off its metabolism. THEN you'll have heavier weight issues to worry about than you do now.
I think you might try 5 lbs in that timeframe and it is also doubtful that you would actually need to lose 10-12 given your height and current weight.
If you stick to 1200-1500 calories per day and walk for an hour per day you will lose it. Stick to lean protein (chicken or fish) once per day and eat veggies and fruits and you will get there. Stay away from fatty/fried foods as well as carbs and sugars.
It's not possible to lose that much fat.
You could lose that much in water weight, maybe, but you'd put it all back on again in 7 days.

Although you may feel like you need to lose weight, I really don't think that is a good idea given that you're 5'9" and only 125. I am 5'6" and weigh around 130. I am a healthy weight for my size, and I feel like you would just be too skinny at a weight of 113-115 lbs. Instead of losing weight, you might just want to work on toning your body instead. Best of luck
115 sounds unhealthy for you and your height. But it is possible, not very easy or likely though since you're already small. The less weight you have to lose, the harder it tends to be. Eat healthy. Chicken, fish, nothing fried; always baked or grilled. Lots of water. Veggies, fruits. Stay away from a lot of sodium and sugars.
125 sounds pushing healthy for you. 115 sound not so good at your height. 2lbs a week is healthy and average to lose a week. Eat more fiber / whole grain and cardio... Running... If you do weight training you will first loosr fat then gain weight muscle but it looks good. But its possible to loose more quickly...
Why would you want to get thinner? I'm 5'8" and 125ish and I really want to gain weight, but find it hard due to athletics.
You wouldn't be able to lose that much in a healthy way in that little time.
Yeah it is, its a bit of a stretch but definitely not impossible
125 is a great weight for 5'9". I'm currently 115 at 5'9" and I'm trying desperately to be 125 pounds. I'm way too skinny.
at 5'9" 115 lbs is unhealthily thin.
yes, but not permanently.
